When they arrived at the new resource area, the eight of them scanned their surroundings but didn't find any enemies. However, this didn't mean that there were no enemies in this area. It was too big, so they had to search it first.
"Keep looking," the captain said.
Immediately, the eight of them lined up again and flew at full speed through the air. The resource areas were all about the same size, so it would take them some time to completely search this area. Sky Realm cultivators flying at full speed would shatter the surrounding space, and when they deliberately released their power, the area of space would be very large. Even if the Spirit Race was hiding in the second layer, they would still be found. However, Lu An didn't think that they would be hiding in the second layer.
After all, this was war, and this was only the tip of the iceberg. Hiding in the second layer meant that movement was very slow. Not everyone in the Spirit Race had powerful spatial abilities. Although most of them had spatial perception, only a few could teleport and enter the second layer. There was no need for the Spirit Race to send someone with spatial talent to wait here … … unless they had guessed that they would come to this planet.
However, that was impossible.
Rumble … …
The eight of them flew very quickly, about the same amount of time as they had spent searching the previous resource area. The eight of them gathered again. In fact, the search speed had far exceeded expectations. After all, Lu An had saved them time traveling through two resource areas. Compared to searching the resource areas, the time spent traveling was much longer.
"Go to the next one," the captain said, panting slightly as he pointed at the map. "This one."
"Okay." Lu An nodded.
Lu An calculated very quickly, and almost immediately released his power to change the spatial coordinates in front of him. Seeing Lu An's ability, the other seven revealed looks of envy. Even though they were from the Hachiko clan, the Fu Clan, which was the most proficient in spatial abilities, there were very few Sky Realm cultivators who could teleport.
The spatial coordinates quickly changed, and the seven of them quickly entered. Lu An was the last to enter, disappearing from the land.

At the third resource area, spatial fluctuations appeared, and eight figures walked out one after the other to observe their surroundings.
There didn't seem to be any mountains on this planet, and even the ground didn't undulate much. At least, that was the case in the two resource areas they had searched. The eight of them looked around, but it was almost a flat land with no end in sight. This also meant that there was no one.
Since they couldn't see anyone, they could only continue searching in a row. The captain immediately ordered, "Move out!"
However, before the captain could finish his sentence, Lu An suddenly said, "I have a suggestion."
Everyone who was about to act was stunned and turned to look at Lu An. One could not disobey orders on the battlefield, but that did not mean that one could not make suggestions. Moreover, Lu An's identity was special. The captain immediately looked at Lu An and asked, "What do you suggest, Young Master Lu?"
"I think we can split up. The seven of you will search half of the place, and I will search the other half," Lu An said seriously. "I can teleport, so I can search faster."
When they heard the first half of the sentence, the seven of them were stunned. They subconsciously thought that Lu An was bragging. However, after hearing the second half of the explanation, the seven of them gasped and looked at each other.
Lu An was right. People who could teleport would have a much easier time searching.
Their senses could only extend to 20,000 feet, not 30,000 feet. Their vision was even further, but it was still very limited. Moreover, it was very difficult to see things that were too far away, so they had to constantly move. Lu An also needed to move, but he did not need to fly. He could teleport 60,000 feet away, which would save a lot of time and make his search much more efficient.
Lu An's suggestion was very reasonable, and the captain should have agreed. However, the captain frowned, evidently having his own concerns.
He only had one thing to worry about, which was that something might happen to Lu An.
If Lu An encountered many people from the Spirit Race, it would be very dangerous. If something really happened to him, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Lu An looked at the captain. He was not stupid and could guess what the captain was worried about. He said, "I will be fine. If I encounter people from the Spirit Race, I will not attack them and will immediately teleport away. Even if I am not a match for them, it will not be easy for them to keep me here. "
Hearing Lu An's words, the captain frowned, took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously. "Alright! Since that's the case, Young Master Lu, you can act on your own. However, you must be careful. It doesn't matter if you are a bit slow, as long as you are safe. "
"Alright," Lu An said. "The seven of you should be careful as well."
After saying this, the two sides immediately separated. The eight of them were in the center of the resource area. The seven of them flew to one side, and not long after, the captain turned to look at Lu An. However, he could not even see the spatial fluctuations around Lu An, and there was no Darkness power. Lu An had suddenly disappeared, and he had completely disappeared from his line of sight.
This kind of search speed was indeed something that they could not compare to.
Whoosh!
Lu An's figure instantly appeared a million feet away, which was more than 650 kilometers away. The reason why he had set the teleportation distance to a million feet was because he felt that it was enough to just observe with his eyes. There was no need to use his senses to search. The people of the Spirit Tribe were not so cowardly. They would not steal resources secretly during a war. They would definitely do it openly. It was enough to just watch.
After the teleportation, Lu An quickly turned around and looked around. He could confirm whether there were any enemies with just one look. After his body spun around quickly, the space around him changed, and he disappeared immediately.
At the same time, Lu An's figure appeared a million feet away.
This cycle repeated. Every time Lu An's figure appeared, he would only stay for a moment. Even his aura would not spread much. If one did not look closely, one would not even notice that someone had appeared. The speed of the teleportation was extremely fast. Before the seven of them had even flown a hundred thousand feet away, Lu An had already teleported ten times. This was even after he had deliberately slowed down to observe carefully.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
If one could overlook the entire planet, they would see that Lu An's figure was teleporting as if he was jumping through space. This kind of control and use of space was very strong. Perhaps no one in the Celestial Realm in the two galaxies had a deeper understanding of space than Lu An. After using the teleportation, Lu An's efficiency was greatly increased. He returned to the starting point earlier than the seven of them.
Lu An waited for a while before the seven of them gathered again. The seven of them looked at Lu An, who had returned faster than them. Their eyes were filled with envy.
"Continue to the next area," the captain said.
This process repeated until the fourth, fifth, and sixth resource areas were reached one after another. They completed their search. However, there was no one at all. There were no signs of battle or destruction. This meant that nothing had happened. Otherwise, moving resources would cause damage to the resource areas. Now that they had searched more than half of the resources, could it be that no Spirit Tribe people had come here?
Not only did they not find any Spirit Tribe people, but they also did not find the two Celestial Realm cultivators guarding this planet. After searching six areas, even Lu An, who was constantly using his spatial powers, was a little tired, let alone the seven of them. During the continuous flight, they had even taken elixirs to replenish their energy. However, there was a limit to how fast their bodies could absorb energy. There was also a limit to how much energy they could absorb. It did not mean that they could absorb as much energy as they wanted. The seven of them were tired from the inside out. If they continued like this, they would not be far from exhaustion.
Lu An looked at the state of the seven of them. He thought for a while and said, "Let's rest for a while. If we continue like this, it will be difficult if we encounter any enemies."
The captain knew that Lu An's words made sense. Just because they did not encounter any enemies before, it did not mean that they would not encounter any later. They could not rely on luck on the battlefield. Otherwise, if they failed, they would lose their lives, their superiors' missions, and their own combat power.
"Everyone, get ready and rest for a while. Adjust your state as soon as possible!" the captain immediately ordered.
Everyone nodded. They were really tired. They sat cross-legged on the ground to adjust their Qi and absorb energy. The captain did the same. Seeing how the seven of them were resting, Lu An frowned slightly.
After thinking for a while, Lu An walked up to the captain and said, "Why don't everyone rest first? I'll go search one of the resource areas first."
Search by himself?
The captain was stunned and turned to look at Lu An. Although they had just separated and were in the same resource area, the seven of them were indeed unable to protect Lu An. However, there was a fundamental difference between this and letting Lu An act alone. Even if this was indeed beneficial to the mission, his long experience told him that he could not do this. He could not take such a risk.
"No!" the captain said, rejecting him on the spot.
